The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation offers one internship each summer for an undergraduate or graduate student who desires experience related to philanthropy, the non-profit sector, public policy, advocacy and/or community service in North Carolina.  Internships are for a period of at least six consecutive weeks during the summer; however, there is no specific starting date.  The Foundation provides a stipend for this internship as well as an additional housing stipend if the intern does not live within commuting distance of Winston-Salem.

North Carolina natives, residents, and/or students attending accredited colleges or universities in the state are eligible to apply.  Applicants must demonstrate an interest in philanthropy, the non-profit sector, public policy, advocacy and/or community service.  Applicants must also demonstrate strong communication skills, the desire to take on personal responsibility, and the willingness to support Foundation staff through intensive research projects. 

Interns have the opportunity to assist staff in researching projects related to the long-term goals of the Foundation as well as projects of personal interest.  Interns shadow staff members, attend conferences and meetings, and participate in the overall activities of the Foundation.  This internship provides a unique opportunity for a student to explore his/her interests with the goal of informing future career pathways.
